Did You Know...

The Los Angeles Lakers finished 2nd place in the brutally competitive Pacific Division in the 2006-07 season, and everyone’s been wondering when the “big changes” are going to happen and if they’ll lead to a championship title. So far there have been only small changes, with Derek Fisher coming back to the Lakers from Utah and Luke Walton and Chris Mihm re-signing. Superstar Kobe Bryant is hanging in there, but as the “big changes” haven’t happened, it remains to be seen if his unhappiness with the team’s management will play out on the court. Always loyal Lakers fans are sure to pack the stands of Staples Center, despite (or maybe because?) of any possible drama. Get your tickets today and see the Los Angeles Lakers in action in the 2007-2008 season!

The Los Angeles Lakers have a long history of being champions. Before moving to L.A. in 1960, they originally played out of Minneapolis, and they dominated the NBA throughout the '40s and '50s. Led by George Mikan, the Lakers won the first NBA Championship in 1951, and they became the first dynasty by winning four championships in the first five years of the NBA. All together, they have won a total of nine championships, with three of them coming in consecutive seasons from 1999-2002.
